I had to laugh when Quentin said he'd just kill Magda.  His solution to all this problems with women.  No thought to the consequences of his actions.  Would Sandor not offer some sort of reprisal as Magda has done to him?  Of course he doesn't yet realize how serious his curse is, but now Beth knows so will she tell him or try to protect him?

I was thinking the same thing about Rachel, but then she had tried in the past to warn the Collins family about Trask and they didn't seem that interested in believing her.  Edward seemed to only want the children out of the way of Laura and he seems to be the final authority on what is done with them.  Rachel doesn't seem all that bright as she should realize that Trask never went to the police in the past when she ran away so there must be a reason and that the attention it might bring from the authorities would be bad for the school's reputation.
How desperate for attention must Dorcas be to fawn all over that discusting Trask.

I have to say that the Collins family must have a stone mason on retainer who can work fast because having ordered several, I know, they take some time to arrive.  They also picked quite an elaborate one for a despised member of the families gypsy wife.
Is this the first time we learn that the children live with a Mrs. Filmore?
I thought Beth's reaction to Quentin after Jenny's death is right on and her explaination of how he can never be alone and is easily bored and discards people was also and yet she decides to go with him.  I think this was Terry Crawford's best scene so far.

I remember looking in the T.V Guide and seeing something like end of series under Friday's listing and then when next week's came in the mail looking to see that Password was listed.  I remember tuning in Monday hoping it was wrong. My Mom loved Password from the start and we watched it with her.  I still cringe when I remember Lucy Ball trying to give clues.  Liz Montgomery and Carol Burnett were the best guests.   I loved PT 1841, but I had read Wurthering Heights and thought it was great so with Jon playing Heathcliff and Lara playing Cathy it was all good.

Marie Wallace is really wonderful.  She is meancing with the knife.  I recall she scared our socks off when we were kids watching.  Jenny is one of those girls that think that once they find a guy and get together they will live happiliy ever after and she can't accept the reality that it didn't.  Barnabas is so clueless.  He bumbles around eveything and needs someone else to put the pieces together.

We get another shot of RD with hands all over Laura and then shaking her awake.  The writers had to be aware of his tendencies so a person must wonder did they write the scenes to see how far he'd take it.  We now know that Laura who apparently never showed much interest in her children now wants to take them away, but after she told Edward she was back for good and had nowhere to go.  So where will she take them and how will they live?  It doesn't appear that Quentin told the others he saw Laura consumed by flames.

The present day crypt had only the initial L on the tombstone making it appear that it could be any gender. 
Another Quick Magda transformation of the cottage.  She must be some kind of cleaning woman.

The restaging of the scene was one of the more noticable ones and it makes sense the way RD throws people around.
Charity reminded me of Carolyn in HODS.  I wonder if the writers were doing a dress rehersal for the film as it apparently was in the works at this time since Dan Curtis has been learning how to direct at this time. Maybe they liked the interacintoin between the two actors and now that they are not cousins are really playing up the sexuality of the relationship.

Judith seems genuinely concerned about Laura's well being and then later  Quentin talks about her always hating Laura
It makes one think that showing hated and contempt was the norm for the family and it was probably a sign a weakness to show caring towards other family members. 
And then there RD goes again with his arms all wrapped around Laura.

I see the gazebo set reappears.  When the Cassandra episodes appeared on my local PBS station some time ago I thought that that set must be from just that time period as I didn't recall ever seeing it when I originally watched, but here it is.

The creepiness of Trask rubbing his hands together the way he does adds so much to the character.  Jerry Lacy does a great job.  Why didn't Laura just have him call in his wife or Rachel or the children to identify her?  Of course Laura doesn't let this stop her.

Trask sure is despicable!  I well remember this part of the storyline well as I was being threatened with being sent away to school at the time it originally aired and seeing this was truely frightening to the boy who used to be me. When Jamison saw the key, I remember thinking you fool don't use it.  Jamison seems so immature and unworldly. No wonder he a pawn for Quentin.

When Judith entered the room,I thought she looks really as always quite beautiful.  Then not much later Laura remarks about poor plain Judith.  And that she was envious of her brother's pretty wives. Then we get the contrast of poor plain Minerva in her dark wig.  Now she can find a husband, but Judith couldn't.  That is one part of this story that I find hard to get past.
 I'm really noticing at this time that characters one should see are missing (such as the children who should be in this episode) and  the length of time between some of the characters appearances.

Quentin doesn't seem to learn that the cottage is not the place to meet with his women.  It appears that he meets his second death there until we learn that its all Angelique's plot to get back Barnabas.   Her statement to Barnabas that she'd kill anyone for him should have been a lesson learned back in 1795.  We learn that Laura's life in is the urn so does this mean she isn't like the phoenix of the present day?

Laura should have been prepared for Quentin's wonder about her once she knew he was back at Collinwood. It seemed like she came up with he dreamed the whole thing on the spur of the moment.  It seems a better story would involve some kind of trickery.   Laura apparently never had any feelings for Quentin as she describes him as concieted and vile as ever.  Laura's look when Judith's name was mentioned was very telling.  Tim's seems to be a person who is weary and defeated after the years of being under Trask's thumb.  I'm beginning to feel some sympathy for Rachel now that she is less Nancy Drewish and knowing what it must have been like in Trask's for her growing up.
